Industry: Energy Transition

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Muhammad Islam, SVP, Business Development and Technology at IHI E&C, explored the future of hydrogen infrastructure financing during the Hydrogen and Fuels panel, moderated by Ari Greenberg, Head of Sales, Energy and Industrials at AlphaSense. Hydrogen infrastructure was advancing rapidly, with increasing focus on regional hydrogen hubs. The U.S. Gulf […]

Energy transition advanced rapidly through the collective public consciousness in the past two years although starting this past summer, it has run into significant challenges.  To a large extent though, both energy transition’s progress in 2020 and the challenges of 2021 were more conceptual than rooted in concrete form.  Investor-led demand for a greater focus […]

Powered by rising support for decarbonization, hydrogen is being positioned as a key pillar to the energy transition. Through 2021, more than 200 hydrogen projects were announced, 30 countries had released their hydrogen roadmaps, and governments worldwide announced billions of dollars in capital spending towards hydrogen infrastructure. This momentum is expected to continue in 2022 […]

While 2020 presented unprecedented challenges for global petroleum refiners due to pandemic-induced demand destruction, 2021 proved unexpectedly frustrating. Despite progress towards normalcy, persistent COVID-19 variants hindered the anticipated full recovery of oil and gas markets.

The global chemical industry experienced a rapid, albeit unstable, recovery in 2021, with stabilization anticipated in 2022.

Despite anticipated slower growth and reduced capital spending in the U.S. midstream sector in 2022, driven by factors including policy changes and shifting capacity needs, international markets and energy transition initiatives like carbon capture and hydrogen offer growth opportunities, while Europe’s gas shortage may spur storage capacity increases.

Faced with COVID-19 challenges, mining operators in the preceding year focused on resilience, investor confidence, ESG, and capital/operational discipline. These priorities, alongside complexities identified in 2021, remain pertinent for the industry in 2022.

ADI Chemical Market Resources launches “Chemical Shorts” podcast hosted by Jacqueline Unzueta. The first episode features analysts discussing mining chemicals, demand drivers, and alternatives.

ADI’s blog series examines the refining industry in Latin American import-reliant nations, including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Ecuador. The latest installment focuses on Peru, drawing from their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

Ammonia is a compound that is primarily used in fertilizers to increase crop yield and other agricultural purposes. In addition, it is also used in the chemical industries as a refrigerant and to manufacture synthetic fibers, resins, and other products. Because of its various applications, there is an existing commercial distribution network for ammonia globally […]

ADI’s blog series analyzes Latin American refining, focusing on import-reliant nations. Previous blogs covered Brazil, Mexico, and Chile; today’s discusses Ecuador, based on their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

In the November 2021 editionn of the ADI newsletter, explored key global energy and resources trends shaping industrial strategy. Topics included the rising potential of ammonia as an energy carrier in the transition to cleaner fuels, and whether oil majors’ investments in hydrogen projects mark a true strategic shift toward decarbonization. We also examined Mexico’s […]
